LAS CRUCES, N.M. – Senior forward Jemerrio Jones became the first New Mexico State men’s basketball player to record a triple-double in Tuesday night’s 84-62 win over Eastern New Mexico since former Aggie All-American Daniel Mullings did so against Hawaii back on Feb. 23, 2012.

Jones finished the game with 10 points, 11 rebounds and 11 assists against the Greyhounds while Mullings did it with 28 points, 12 rebounds and 10 assists against the Rainbow Warriors.

“I am happy for him,” Aggie head coach Chris Jans said about Jones. “He deserves that. To be able to make the history books with a triple-double in his senior year and do it efficiently.”

LAS CRUCES, N.M. - New Mexico State volleyball head coach Mike Jordan constructed another spectacular signing class for the 2018 season. The three athletes join an elite Aggie squad that posted a 21-8 record in 2017, which included NM State's third-straight Western Athletic Conference Regular Season Championship.

"This class adds exceptionally athletic and versatile athletes. We needed to add players that we won't have to substitute out of the game for ball control purposes. All of them are six rotation attackers and defenders and they'll make us more versatile," Jordan said. "They're all really great people as well, everyone close to these athletes raves about how hard they work and what great teammates they are."
